* candide: Suppose a and b are lists. What is more efficient in order to extend the list a by appending all the items in the list b ? I imagine a.extend(b)to be more efficient for only appendinding the items from b while a+=b creates a copy of a before appending, right ? No. But in gener

a.extend(b) better than a+=b ?
